For a weight distribution system that will work great with a Lance travel trailer that will weigh up to 5,700 lbs I'd recommend the Strait Line kit part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features the only and best sway control designed to work to prevent sway before it starts. I attached a review video for this kit for more info on it as well.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
